Pond Vacuum
I saw this vacuum for pools/ponds on the Hammcher Schlemer website. It
hooks to your hose and uses the hose to create a vacuum to collect debris into a bag. I was wondering if anyone had one and how it worked. It would be nice ot be able to clean the pond of debris without draining. I think the thing cost $50. Here is the link: http://www.hammacher.com/publish/657...89_poolCleaner |

ummm, would you have a link for that, or tell me which department at
the big orange box has this? I looked online and I've looked at the store, haven't seen anything like this, but sure would like to!

The hose driven vacs will work, but they are slow if you have much debris.
I used one when I had the preforms many years ago, but to keep from having all the chlorinated water go into my pond I rigged up a shop vac hose where the bag went and had it discharge out into the flower beds. The chlorine or chloaramine in your water needs to be treated. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "Mike C" wrote in message ups.com...

Maybe when it's time to do a water change I could use it during refilling...hmmm. Mike Mike Patterson Please remove the spamtrap to email me.

Not worth it in my opinion. The part that sucks up the debris is maybe
3-4 inches wide. Think about maneuvering a 4 foot pole with a vacuum and hose attached to it across the bottom and sides of your entire pond. It really isn't practical unless you have a very small pond. As the other poster pointed out, the hose that creates the vacuum also puts chlorinated (unless you have a well) water into your pond. Obviously not a big deal for a quick cleaning, but bad for a major cleaning. |
